Engagement
What do you say?

Only 125 more days to go and wow is it going by fast!

I'm happy to say that I have found a new MOH. Though she is not the person I originally wanted (refer to last blog) she is a nice person and is very reliable and loyal to me and FH.

Our guests are a little thrown off by me and FH Twilight Theme. They think that it's just my obsession, but really it's me and Jake's love for the story that has invoked our theme. He and I watched the movies, liked it, then read the books together. We read all of them together and finished them together....literally.

It may seem weird and shocking to some, but we have always seen ourselves as Bella and Jacob. He is the strong type. He likes to work out, we go jogging together in the evenings, and he takes good care of me, but also let's me have my space when I need it. He is not overbearing nor is he over protective. He is a great listener, sensitive, and ruggedly handsome.

When Jake proposed to me we were at a jazz festival in Peidmont Park. I hear so many girls say that they feel it coming, but I had no idea it was coming. We didn't even talk about it before! it was joked about but no one didn't really bring up the subject in a serious way. He got down on one knee and hugged me around my waist. I had a glass of wine in my hand and so a little of the wine dripped on his head. He laughed and said: "that's the kind of rain I like", I laughed and then he just looked up at me and said "I have something to ask you"

I'm like: "what?"

he said: "I want to know if you think i'm good enough"

me: "for what?"

him: "to marry"

me: "what?"

him: "marry me? seriously, man. Marry me?"

me: "what?"

He pulled out a shiny white gold solitaire diamond ring.

him: "Come on!" he laughed

I hugged him and kissed him...i guess I never really said yes, but I let him put the ring on my finger. He picked me up off of the ground and we kissed.

I'm so ready for 125 days to be here! lol

That is too sweet!!! It sounds like you have your very own love story, and it is what expresses you and your fiance, go with it! It's ok that people don't understand, you guys do! We are going for a fun theme, as Phillys parents would really rather we do a more elegant theme, BUT it's our day! We don't want to be something we are not, we want to have fun!! I was taken by surprise with engagement too. We had talked about it, but I didn't know it was that day. I have a post about ours, it was on a mountain at 11,000 feet, so we were short of breath, haha. And I almost knocked the ring in the snow, eek!! :) 125 days will go by SOOO fast, be ready for it! So happy for you!

sweet proposal! I didn't really see mine coming either, we had only been dating a short time when he popped the question. I think its great when a couple chooses to have a wedding that represents them and have fun with it! That is why we are doing a retro mad men vibe! PS just noticed our weddings are super close together date wise! time will fly!
